The new Florida state statute seems pretty clear. Local governments can't regulate your anchoring rights if your vessel is navigated. By extension the vessel would probably have to be in condition to be navigated.
This seems like it is in compliance with Federal law. I would not think any local judge would allow a proceeding to continue if it were brought to court. This does not, I think, keep an officer from questioning one or writing the ticket. Just means a court won't/can't enforce it. Probably get the officer/enforcement agency in a lot of hot water if they continued to write them.
Very good! Now, we just have to see what California/San Diego does. Ah, but who cares! No place to anchor in Ca anyway! (He says in partial jest!)
